TCU defensive end Devonte Fields is being investigated for assault and was accused of threatening his ex-girlfriend with a gun, according to a Fort Worth police report. As a result, Fields was suspended from the team.

"Devonte Fields has been separated from the University pending results of an investigation into the allegations against him," a school statement read. "The University does not tolerate harassment or misconduct by a student. The university discipline process will be implemented which may result in disciplinary action from the University above and beyond any legal consequences the student might face."

Fields was accused of pointing the gun at Haley Brown and threatening her by saying, "I should blast you." Brown told police that Fields punched her in the head at a home in Forth Worth early Sunday. The police report noted a swollen cheek and cut under Brown's eye. Fields had left the scene before police arrived.

Sgt. Raymond Bush told USA TODAY Sports that Fields was not arrested but was a suspect of a domestic disturbance. Brown decided not to press charges and noted that she and Fields dated for two years before breaking up on June 1.

Brown told police that before Fields entered the home, he punched out the window of a bedroom and began yelling at her.

Fields was selected as the preseason defensive MVP of the Big 12 and was on the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which is presented annually to the nation's top defensive player.
